Hi Ludwig,

That's an interesting thought. I'm guessing that access to the branch is covered by the default "Enable anonymous access" ACI. To check my logic, if I can exclude this single branch from the "anonymous" ACI, and then add an ACI to the branch to cover access for this single user, that would probably do what I want, correct?

Thanks,

James

I'm trying to figure out how to write an ACI which would allow one user to read a particular branch of the directory, but deny all others. If I specify it as two rules - one denying access to everyone, the other granting access to this user - no one can read that branch. If I specify it as a single rule, that this user can read this branch, it's not imposing any new restrictions and everyone can read the branch. I've tried reading the documentation and didn't see this example listed. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

James

To update the list, this worked perfectly. I modified the existing "Enable anonymous access" ACI to exclude the branch in question as a target, and then added an ACI to that branch to grant a specific user access.

Thanks,
